Google Apps Standard for Free.

I strongly suggest every web developer should own a domain, that helps you to understand the real time web system. The web giant Google offering a free tool called Google Apps Standard Edition you will get Gmail, GTalk, GCal, and Gdocs. This post explains how to setup the free Google Apps Standard for your domain.

also the free limit is 10 accounts, as it was 50 users before, I know that 10 users is really very limited as its not that useful having only 10 accounts, I believe the 10 should be 25 accounts to make it much more powerful for every body to use.

I've use google apps long time ago. And I find the old Google Apps allow upto 50 account for free. So if you're using just recently then you its reduced to only 10 account. But for those who has used since before then the free accounts still remains 50 nos.

For those who are confused if Google Apps is free or not. There is a standard free version that is limited to 10 (email)accounts. If you need more than 10 accounts, you will have to use the paid version.I do install Google Apps for businesses, and the free version is excellent for small businesses but I am not sure how long it will stay free.

FYI, old google apps accounts, often referred to as 'grandfathered' google apps accounts, still have their original limit of user accounts. (100, 200, 500, 1000 etc). I have some that can create up to 1000 user accounts. Drop me an email if you need one :)
